My "universal karma" rant explains some of my views.
Karma seems to be a potentially-important tool for calming rogue corporations. We want corporations to be well behaved - partly since they may become powerful by developing mechanical hearts and minds. Just in case anyone is about to tell me that you can't use a carrot and a stick on a machine intelligence, I do know all about the issues there.
FWIW, I tend to mostly ignore the karma of my own posts here - not wanting to be excessively influenced by the masses.
